The University of Vermont Morgan Horse Farm in Weybridge, Vermont is currently taking applications for our apprenticeship program! You do not need to be a UVM student to apply.
The apprenticeship program is a year-long inclusive educational experience, where aspiring equine students live on site and participate in all aspects of a Morgan horse training and breeding farm. We accept applications on a rolling basis.
Apprentice opportunities include learning young-horse handling and training, including backing, riding, and driving. Apprentices will also have the opportunity to care for stallions and broodmares throughout the collection, breeding, pregnancy, and foaling process.
Depending on the goals of the individual, apprentices can assist in marketing horses for sale, handling mares and stallions during breeding, showing young horses and stallions, and working with our agritourism team to promote the breed and educate the public.
For questions or application information, please email Equine Manager Jamie Maguire at [email protected]
Applicants must be at least 18 years of age. No experience required.
